I've been using this nickname since I created my LJ which was... wait, let me check. 2 February 2006. Like, what the fuck.
Anyway, I think I grew out of this nickname. I'm 33 years old right now, I was 16 back then. So yeah I would need a change of nickname so maybe I'll spend some pocket money next month on that.

Right now I just need to think about what nickname I want ^^''

I visited livejournal for the first time in months yesterday (even though I don't use it anymore for obvious reasons), only to find out that they discontinued the Flexible Squares and Smooth Sailing styles.

Now, for those of you who didn't know, these two were the most popular styles among designers. It was just so easy to pull out a cool design using any of these two bases. I've made lots of Flexible Squares and Smooth Sailing designs (I took all of them down when I abandoned livejournal, I'll show you sometime if I can retrieve some previews). I think I made more than 100 layouts for livejournal using these two in total. Maybe even more!

And that sucks. Not that I care, but people new to livejournal won't be able to use these thousands and thousands of layouts made by people over the years! Lots of work gone to waste.

So yeah, livejournal keeps digging its own grave. I hope Dreamwidth will keep alive and kicking for many, many more years.

*Using the "down again" icon because reasons*

Current Music: Secrets - Tears for Fears

As mentioned in this entry, I'm posting here a small archive of old and cringey layouts I still have the previews of! Most of them were Livejournal S1, with some of my first S2 incursions.
The dates in the screencaps are of the time when I created the test entries so they don't reflect when they were made!!

Anyway, my goal with this is to show my improvement if we compare THIS to my current work over at

inconformista. Mind you: these were obscure and cringey as hell times. You are warned!!

Current Music: Hey Andy - Roland Orzabal

I miss the old days when I used to write about life and what happened to me, my thoughts, etc. I guess the golden days of blogging are now long gone.

At least if I had friends who shared this interest with me it would be easier.

What with Tumblr and all this stuff going on? People have forgotten about journaling and just care about direct info and images, it's crazy.

I guess I just needed to rant for a bit. I miss the internet from 2006 sometimes hahaha!

Hi everyone. I don't know, this is weird. Today I found myself making graphics and layouts for livejournal again. I felt like I was 15-16 years old xD Ah~

Then I revived my graphics and layouts comm at lj and also another old community I have...

And just now, when I started writing this entry, I started thinking... why did I end up writing my LJ and DW in english?

Then I remembered I started livejournal as a mean to learn english. Also, everything fandom related I could find that wasn't crap back then, was also in english. So yeah...

Now it seems I'm stuck at blogging in english hahaha. But, at least, I can say it served it's purpose :D

I don't know who I am writing for right now. I guess just to myself. Like I used to do back in the days... only that some people happened to read me.

Oh well. Should I just open this journal for everyone to read? I guess I'll start with this entry :D

So, to anyone reading me, old or new... welcome :3

Current Mood: productive
Current Music: The fan is on D:
